Nina Simone "To Be Young, Gifted And Black" |
Young, gifted, and black Oh what a lovely precious dream To be young, gifted, and black Open your heart to what I mean In the whole world you'll know There's a million boys and girls Who are young, gifted, and black And that's a fact! You are young, gifted, and black We must begin to tell our young There's a world waiting for you Yours is the quest that's just begun When you're feeling real low There's a great truth that you should know When you're young, gifted, and black Your soul's intact! To be young, gifted, and black Oh how I've longed to know the truth There are times when I look back And I am haunted by my youth Oh but my joy of today Is that we can all be proud to say To be young, gifted, and black Is where it's at�Is where it's at�Is where it's at!
